I submitted my syrup in to judging and it was 0.1 Baume light, so I lost a few points. My hydrometer was off more than the correction factor I was using. Fair season's coming up and I want to adjust it, so it's at least at density. The syrup barely made the medium amber grade, so I'm concerned about heating it up to remove the excess water. What's the safest way heat it up without releasing niter and darkening the syrup? I figure if I can gently heat it to 150F or something, if I agitate it, it should release some moisture.
I have the honey jar I submitted which I'll be leaving alone just in case. I have about 1.25 qts I can play with to get the density right. This doesn't leave me much to run it through a set of filters, or through the press.
Thanks
